Title:
  fglrx-installer 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 fails with some "legacy" devices
  (Radeon HD 2000 3000 4000)

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in fglrx-installer package in Baltix:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Updated description]

  Update of the fglrx-driver (version 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 on 2014-02-03) brought by update-manager (through ubuntu-updates repos) on Precise doesn't work on some "legacy" devices.
  The main symptom is the fallback to unity-2D.
   
  This bug seems target only Precise with no LTS Enablement Stack activated, in other words with Linux 3.2.x and XServer 7.6.
  ==> please : confirm or infirm using:
  uname -rm
  apt-cache policy xserver-xorg

  It may be in relation with #1058040, about non-support for Radeon [Mobility] HD 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx on Ubuntu 12.10 and higher.
  ______

  1)Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
  Release:	12.04
  Architecture: amd64

  2) apt-cache policy fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
  fglrx:
    Installé : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1
    Candidat : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1
   Table de version :
   *** 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 0

  fglrx-amdcccle:
    Installé : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1
    Candidat : 2:13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1

  3) I expected that the driver :
   - set up
   - work

  4) It did'nt work :
   - Ubuntu was very slow
   - Unity fall in Unity-2d mode
   - when I taped CTRL+SUPER, desktops appears blue
   - fglrx-amdcccle failed
   - fans were turning at a high speed
   - lots of warning messages as described bellow

  5) Workaround
  I had to downgrade manually the driver to the old 8.960, which works without problem.
  You could do it using Synaptics our using the CLI

  I tried to do an "apt-get remove fglrx fglrx-amdcccle" but apt-get gaves me fglrx-updates in replacement , with the same issues. I experimented fglrx-update some months (a year?) ago with similar problems, but at that time it was a conscient experimentation.
  The 13.101-0ubuntu0.0.1 could maybe stay in fglrx-updates, and no fglrx ?
